Serie Murano V 2016

Requena Nozal made this artwork Serie Murano V, using lots of red, and gold on a canvas measuring 100 by 122 cm. Imagine the artist standing there, maybe with music playing, making a network of red gestures. I can almost see Nozal in the studio, layering on the colour, one stroke at a time. The paint is applied thickly, creating a rich texture that catches the light. Looking closely, you can see the gold shining through the red, adding depth and warmth to the painting. It makes you wonder about the physicality of painting, the sheer act of moving paint around. That one bold, red stroke there feels really decisive. Maybe Nozal was channeling something intense, a burst of energy, or a deep emotion? These marks connect this artwork to other painters of the time, all exploring ways to communicate feeling through abstract forms. Each artist is participating in the painting conversation. Ultimately, painting is about expression, embracing ambiguity, and allowing for different readings.
